Educational Series Part 2
Matching the design of your direct mail piece and emails to your company's image may seem like a daunting task, but can actually be fairly simple. Start by taking a look at your Web site (if you have one). Is there a central theme or consistent colors that are used throughout? If you already have some branding in place, carry that look & feel over to your email template or direct mail piece. By creating a consistent image, your customers and prospect will begin to recognize your company just by the tone of your marketing materials. Direct marketing involves more than just creating a pretty postcard or email to send to your target audience. There are some critical elements that need to be included to optimize your results and get a better return on your printing and email investment.
- Offer - What incentive have you included to get your audience to respond? The offer doesn't have to be hard dollar value. Maybe it's a demo, a free sample, or a useful article or whitepaper.
- Call-to-Action - How does your reader redeem the offer? Do you want them to call you? Email? Visit the Web site? Send in a reply card? Whatever redemption process you choose, make it clear to the recipient.
- Response/Contact Information - Don't forget to include your contact information. Put it in bold right up front so the reader can't miss it!
- What is the product or service being offered?
- What is the recipient supposed to do after receiving this postcard or email?
